MAINTENANCE

STORING THE PRESSURE WASHER

It is important to store this product in a frost-free area. Always empty water from all hoses, the pump, and the detergent bucket before storing.

NOTE: Use of a fuel stabilizer and pump saver will give you better performance and increase the life of the machine.

Discharge Fuel:

Drain the fuel tank completely. Stored gas can go stale in

30days.

Engine Oil:

Drain the oil and replace with fresh, clean oil.

Spark Plug:

Disconnect spark plug wire and remove the spark plug. Pour about a teaspoon of clean, air-cooled, four-cycle oil through the spark plug hole into the combustion chamber.

Leaving the spark plug out, pull the starter cord two or three times to coat the inside of the cylinder wall.

Inspect the spark plug and clean or replace, as neces- sary.

Reinstall the spark plug, but leave the spark plug wire disconnected.

Air Filter:

Clean the air filter.

Hoses and Pump:

Flush the injection hose with clean water for 1-2 minutes. Remove all hoses. Empty the pump by pulling on the recoil starter about 6 times. This should remove most of the liquid from the pump.

PREPARING FOR USE AFTER STORAGE

Pull the recoil starter grip three or four times to clean oil from the combustion chamber.

Remove spark plug from the cylinder. Wipe oil from the spark plug and return it to the cylinder.

Reconnect the spark plug wire.

Refuel the machine as described earlier in the operator’s manual.
